Rolex Milgauss 116400 | Black | Orange Accents | Lightning Bolt Hand

The End of an Era, The Start of a Legacy

In March 2023, Rolex drew the curtain on the Milgauss, transforming it from a cult professional model into a finite, highly pursued chapter of the crown’s history. This black-dial Milgauss 116400 captures the collection’s original modern aesthetic—where scientific purpose meets refined style—and now stands as a rarer proposition for discerning collectors.
